Feed for newborn and infant should be demand feed. How much ever they need, whenever they need, they ll take.
So once the baby shows sign of "enough for me", then you stop it. Over feeding beyond they will result in regurgitation and aspiration into lungs.
Next Steps
Try your maximum to give exclusive breast feed instead of formula.
